Brough Superior

[Kev L]

Well it looks like another British marque from the past may be rising like a Pheonix from the flames...... blah, blah.

The Brough Superior (Inferior) name will be on a Moto 2 bike next year and on a V twin roadbike to be unveiled at the Milan show according to info on Visordown -

The article had a shot of the Vtwin road bike, with Henry Cole on it, earlier but that appears to have been pulled.

Interesting - but bet it'll be pricey esp with all that carbon

I take it the geezer with the ridiculous chin is jay leno ??
if its expensive he will have one ! he has a huge collection of cars and bikes.

not sure I really see the point in calling anything new a brough because it wont have anything to do with those old classics I guess?

That's the Moto 2 bike, so it's got the Honda 600RR control engine. The Brough bit is the carbon fibre monocoque chassis. Hope they have better luck than Ducati with that.

I like the lines of it, harks back to the classic Brough but with a twist.

Hmm, I'm loving that. Ba$tard EuroMillions fix (in my not winning) means I'll have to forego and get the The Hound sorted instead!

Maybe next time mate! I think I am due to have a win before you're due though!!!

They have no idea of heritage. It needs two little chromed springs under the rear edge of the seat pad.......

£50k?

Lol, you're right Tony, that would complete it - might start knocking some up, aftermarket, only £250 the pair!!

[AMCQ46]

Some nice touches there, but I doubt it will ever get built...which might be a shame

The only rehash I line is the norton :-)

Yes the " Brough " motorcycle ,, claim to fame was that poor
"Lawrence of Arabia" of yesteryear had a fatal collision on his
silky smooth Brough when swerving to miss a couple of boys who were cycling in
a country lane.... Lawrence came off his machine and never recovered from
injuries.... Yes the name lives on again..

I like that!
I don't know if it's worth the 50k price ticket though. If they were really serious about selling them and wanted to keep it at a premium price, £30k would be more than enough to keep it beyound most punters.
